Bob - #82/365

Bob was my limo driver from the airport.  As soon I detected his English accent we struck up a conversation that continued until he delivered me home.  Perhaps a first for me, getting an English accented limo driver in Toronto - and not just any Englishman.  He used to live just a few miles from my home town in England and only when I handed him my business card did I find out his mother's maiden name is the same as mine.

Thinking of you

I ran out for a very late lunch break today and while passing through Atrium on Bay, my good friend DA popped into my head as he works in the building and I hadn't seen him for a long time. I run back across the street to return to the office and I get a tap on the shoulder and there's DA. We had a nice catch-up and promised to get together soon. The power of thinking of friends.

Joe

I had to do a double-take on the latest comment on my Flickr pictures...the name of the person providing the comment (also from Toronto) was almost the same as my next door neighbour. The best coincidence is that the second picture in his photostream is of a baby (born July 4th) and our neighbour brought home his new son yesterday (born July 3rd).
